Pisces Weekly Fish Report August 13th to 19th

Overall Catch Success Rate 68%

BILLFISH: Full moon combined with 88F waters are giving anglers a hard time. Many clients report they are watching the marlin jump out the water and even play with the bait but they are just not biting. Still, “Shambala” went kite fishing and managed to catch and release one Sailfish and one Striped marlin for Johnny Mac Powers from Rockwall, TX on August 13th. After that it got pretty slow for billfish, until the 17th when “Adriana” released a Blue Marlin estimated at 250 lbs and landed 9 Dorados between 25 to 44 lbs for Javier Guzman from Ynez, CA. And on the 18th, “Great Escape” caught a 350lbs Blue Marlin, the angler fought for over an hour and used a petrolero lure. This week only 30% of the boats caught billfish, a total of 4 striped marlin, one sailfish and two blue marlin, only one was kept by the angler.

OTHER SPECIES: On small game, tuna catches keep dropping as the season ends until they come back later on the year, on the other side, dorado keeps getting better with over 76% of the boats catching this gorgeous and delicious fish. We had some great catches this week, on August 15th, Dylan Allman (age 9) from Stamford CT caught a 25 lbs dorado and a 65 lbs Wahoo. Fish was caught outside the Old Lighthouse with a grey/green lure. It took him 20 minutes to boat the fish. Same day “CROD” caught a 154 lbs yellowfin tuna for Steve, Heather & Patrick Sack from Chicago IL, they fought for the fish for over 3 hours on 30 lbs test line. We had a couple of rooster fish closer to shore but no other species caught.

About Pisces

www.piscessportfishing.com
We started off as a family owned and operated business out of the City of La Paz, Baja, Mexico in 1978 with one 28 ft boat. A couple of years later we moved to Cabo and since then we have grown to be the largest and most respected charter fleet in Mexico.
To keep pace with the growth of a more sophisticated market we gradually added more vessels and can now offer everything from the basic Baja Panga to mega yachts. Still, the favorite of most Cabo visitors(28-31ft) standard cruisers, seaworthy, clean boat, with very experienced crews which are great value for money. Slightly larger(32-48 ft), newer model, vessels with more comfort like salons and air-conditioning. Over 50 ft Sportfishers usually being new high tech vessels with great speed and more range. Last but not least, the Luxury Yachts, most being multi-purpose - fishing, cruising, snorkeling, diving -ideal for those want to be pampered with the very best.
What sets us apart are the relationships we form with our clients, long-term; our focus is service, value for money and experienced crews. We have a proven track record that keeps our guests returning year after year.
